About

It’s highly likely that you are visiting because of one of the following reasons:
- on the lookout for a place to do really great work,
- in search of an agency to help grow your business or protect your good name,
- a competitor, wondering what we’re up to,
- or maybe the mom of one of our staff.
Whatever brings you to this page, we would love to answer your questions in person. Until then, here’s some of what you’ll want to know. . .
We recently announced plans to grow our business through one of the largest-ever mergers in the public relations industry, combining operations with Pleon, Europe’s largest strategic communications consultancy. As a result, we’ve strengthened our position as one of the world’s largest and most geographically diverse public relations agencies and Europe’s leading public relations agency, with more than 45 offices and affiliates in over 25 countries across the Continent.
We work for global clients, UK clients and very local clients. We’re seasoned communicators with backgrounds in journalism, marketing, science, the arts and prison (long story) among many other pertinent areas. We also have some of the best accountants, HR people, IT specialists and caterers helping us around the clock.
Most of our clients are leaders in their fields – healthcare, cosmetics, domestic goods, civil society, technology, food and beverage, professional services, and entertainment. The few that are not are striving to be, and we’re doing our best to help them get to the top.

Winning in Russia ... and beyond

A quick tip of the hat to our agency in Moscow, Ketchum Maslov - named Russian agency of the year by the Holmes Report at a ceremony in Berlin just last week.

As you can see from the write-up below, this designation reflects the extraordinary work they've done for domestic and international clients alike, despite obviously difficult business conditions.

Doing great work however is only one ingredient in their recipe for success.

The others: hire great people, train them well and allow them to create a culture and environment that's irresistible to clients and future hires.

It was great to see their efforts recognized on stage.

The firm continued to deliver campaigns that gained recognition in Russia and in international competition: supporting the Red Bull Trans-Siberian Extreme 2015, the longest bicycle stage race in the world; following up an award-winning effort from 2014 with the Chekhov is Alive series of theatrical online readings for Google Russia; and giving Western Union Russia a digital makeover on Facebook. Amid all of that, the firm still found time to support the development of the Russian PR market, delivering a new “introduction to public relations” course authored by client service director Oleg Abdurashitov, and contributing to the UN Sustainable Development “Global Goals” campaign. — PH
